diversjobs:Ok so I see your idea and you are trying to get things as Buddy List, Add your Dive Shop and and your link.
Well, you are going a hard path there.
Why?
Well unless you are willing to put at least 6 hours per day in your website adding links, let say manually you can add 25 links per hour with full information (etc...)... well a full link directory is not worthit if it doesn't has TONS of Links.
I see your websites are in HTML...
well, if you want to do dinamic systems and integrate your users, you need something a little bit better. Like this forum for example: runs in php and may be with a mysql database.
Once you get people interested, people return, please read, you get more clicks and one day you can get may be some $$$ .
Also your websites is done with FRAMES.
Ok, news for you: GOOGLE and search engines HATE frames. So now a good idea.
I know is practical, but at the end of the day if you want to be spider by the search egnines, frames are going to give you problems.
DiveShow... logo :
Mmm... check out some of my logos at Diversclick.com or Topdivemaster.com - they have to be different. Don't make a typical red and white diving logo like the diving flag. Give me something that I will remember .... something new.
But your idea is good. Dive Shows... hey a=I never though of that options (and I have over 9 diving websites...).
Remember: building the traffic to a website is difficult, is hard work and only dive sites that you but everything into at the end seem to work.
Hope you don't get this advice the wrong way, I Just send you an email to give you a hand to boost your traffic
Take Care....
NetDoc:Well, there is always www.DEMABoard.com. I wonder who runs that one!
Good luck with the site. (I actually liked the logo).
diversjobs:If you want to make your life easier... for you try to use a Content Managment System. PHP Nuke, Mambo, Xoops, etc...
Good luck....
